2027: Is Delta Governor Decamping from PDP to APC? Ally Speaks Out

TheTalk.NG journalist Ridwan Adeola Yusuf has over 9 years of experience covering politics and governance in Nigeria.

Asaba, Delta state – Ahead of the 2027 election, Charles Aniagwu, the Delta state commissioner for works (rural roads and public information), has debunked reports of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s possible exit from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to Aniagwu, the rumours that the governor is joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) soon are “wishful thinking”.

The government official said in an interview with Arise News on Friday, January 17:

“For us in Delta State, the PDP is heavily pronounced and profound in our blood stream. Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori is not only a proud member of the PDP but a leader, and a performing governor who can be regarded as poster governor for the PDP. Gov. Oborevwori is not in the business of jumping ship .”
